“Cakkhussa ce, bhikkhu, nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya dhammaṃ deseti, ‘dhammakathiko bhikkhū’ti alaṃvacanāya.

Dasamaṃ.

­Nava­purā­ṇa­vaggo pañcamo.

Kammaṃ cattāri sappāyā,
anantevāsi kimatthiyā;
Atthi nu kho pariyāyo,
indriya­ka­thi­kena cāti.

Saḷāya­tana­vagge tatiya­paṇṇā­sako samatto.

Yogakkhemi ca loko ca,
Gahapati devadahena ca;
Navapurāṇena paṇṇāso,
Tatiyo tena vuccatīti.
